I found that there is no need to drill any holes at all! Wood screws screw right into the wood and if you heat the paper clips they slide right through the plastic lid and the same for the clothes hanger piece, it can be heated and melts right through the bottle. It was easier for me than breaking out the drill and cut construction time to less than 10 minutes. Also, alternatively to using a clothes pin I used a paper clasp. Same concept but more available since I didn't have a clothes pin. Those are my tweaks to this design. :)

I just saw the most horrible thing on a homemade electric mouse trap video... it took forever for the animal to die. If it wasn't sad enough, the comments under there enraged me! I don't understand that need for cruelty. So... I'm grateful there's people like you around sharing creative and harmless ways to solve that same problem. Thanks.

Of all the DIY mouse traps this one is most awesome, simple and really humane one. I was actually able to build one and it worked flawlessly. Thanks.

Thanks for the excellent design and sharing the video. I built my own and tried this out: Night 1: the mouse took the bait, but then chewed through the base of the plastic bottle to escape! Night 2:I used a tougher plastic bottle and reinforced the base with a piece of round tupperware that fortunately fitted tightly around it. The mouse took the bait but then managed to escape back through the entrance, as the cap wasn't held in place firmly enough. Perhaps my coat hanger was not of good enough quality! Night 3: With a reinforced bottle and a reinforced cap (I stacked some weights behind it) I trapped the mouse and released it to some fields a couple of miles away!

I actually like this! This might be a neat trap to have a cub scout troop build for fun.

Rodents usually can fit thru any hole they can get their head into, While I am not very familiar with mice I have pet rats and they are very flexible, Partly due to a collapsible rib cage.

thats genius

I built this mouse trap and caught the mouse in our house on the first night! It is a little bit tricky to get the bottle cap to set flat against the bottle opening when it is in the "closed" position, but that might have something to do with the shape of the bottle I used (a plastic Coke bottle). That is not a complaint, it is just a feature that you have to get right. Anyway, the mouse was healthy and alive, and we released him in a field to live out the rest of his days. Thanks, Chris!

I added to your design by gluing pieces of wood to the base of the 2x4 extending out under the bottle. These were added to keep the apparatus upright if the mouse gets active while in the bottle. On one of these, I added another piece of wood which acts to stabilize the cap. I don't know how to upload a picture of it, so I hope I explained it well...

Omg I'm SOO relieved that he let the mouse goI THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA LET IT SUFFOCATE AND I WAS LIKE, "Awww poor mouse!!!! NUUUUUUUUUUU"

Wow!

good

Im glad you dont kill them, but release them

like your videos, all original and effective. only thing i would do different is put the mouse in my bosses yard.

I needed to tweak the balance, a little square of duct tape worked perfectly.

Had mice in my walls for years, and when my useless cat died, all the neighborhood cats started coming around. The property was sterilized in six months. My walls, too! Mice, voles, moles, chipmunks, snakes... all gone. (And the skunks ate all our grubs, too.) No hazardous chemicals were needed.

"Build a better mouse trap and the world should be knocking at the door", was a apt saying now you have satisfied the human race , onward and upward.

nice trap but why turn it loose so it can come back I think you should mark the mouse and see how many times you catch it

gracias por liberarla por un momento pensé que la lastimaría
